It's not just a revue where one song is done, then another. There are concepts and ideas at work.

I tended not to be concerned about whether a song was going to be a hit when I wrote it. Because it became evident that none of us knew what was a hit and what wasn't. So I thought if I just write what I like, why shouldn't people like what I like?

I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'.

In writing I search for believability, simplicity, and emotional impact.

The talent is always there and art is cyclical. I’m optimistic.

Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets

Pop songs are not as graceful as they used to be. Performers today haven’t gone through the regimen of learning how to write. And of course, everyone wants to own copyrights. Rap culture is interesting and different and has purpose, but it has a non-romantic view of life and of social feelings. There may be a void in that.
